Cold Ashton has a long history as a place – it was mentioned in the Domesday Book of the 11th Century. But it is also located within a historic landscape of Bronze Age tumuli and Iron Age hillforts. It was part of the story of a military skirmish in the British Civil Wars of the 1640s. But it is still part of a rich landscape along the Cotswold Edge and is part of the Cotswold National Landscape with both the Cotswold Way crossing the Parish and it is the start of the Limestone Link path that connects the limestone landscape of the Cotswolds with that of the Mendips south of Bath. We are not a museum but a vibrant rural area.
